An imposing figure standing at 6ft2, Redmond likes to play off the wing but has been extremely effective when drifting inside and over the last year, has transitioned his game to playing as a central attacking midfielder.

When describing his own playing style, Devonte Redmond said, “I'm a midfield player. I like to get on the ball and get up and down the pitch.

"I like to dictate the play and hopefully I can chip in with a few goals and assists as well, as well as interceptions and winning the ball back.”

Alexander’s thoughts on the new signing

“We've been looking for central midfield players and he was highlighted to us," he told the club website.

“We know a little bit about him from watching Manchester United games last season, and it was important that we got the right type of character and player to compete with the players we have here.”

When speaking about what he believes the young midfielder will bring to the side, Alexander said: “He’s got loads of energy. He can handle and pass the ball with both feet and he is an exciting, young talent at Manchester United.

“They think highly of him and we are really pleased to get him on board with us.”

“I'm happy to sign and can't wait to get going," he told the club website. "I've been at United for a long time and I think now is the right time to come out and try to make a name for myself in the game and help Scunthorpe towards their aspirations this season.

“It's a good, ambitious club and a good league, so I want to test myself. I'm really looking forward to it.”

“It's a big step for me, because I've been there for a long time and for the last couple of years I've been playing for the reserves. I've been building my way up and in the last few years I've made quite a few appearances.

“This is the next best step for me and I think it's really going to help me and hopefully Scunthorpe as well.”
